My first Turkish Ice-cream (dondurma) experience in Istanbul

The Turkish ice-cream man presents the ice-cream (also known as dondurma) to you with such flair and drama, that you can’t help having a laugh. He draws in a crowd with his sense of humour and really makes you work for your ice-cream. My friends and I spent Easter in Istanbul and had such an interesting experience buying/eating Turkish ice-cream.

The actual ice-cream itself has an interesting texture; smooth and hard and almost chewy when you bite into it. The best thing about Turkish ice-cream is that it also melts less easily during the warmer temperatures of summer! It’s like eating a cold, chewy piece of candy on a cone. When you’re in Instanbul next, you should look for the Turkish Ice-cream man and have a try of the the delicious dondurma!

I thought that I would share this experience with you on video so please have a look! Let me know what you think of my newly found (albeit amateur) video editing skills.

Yes indeed, he is quite the entertainer. Though, during the hottest day there, his entertainment didn’t last as long due to the long line of people wanting a cool treat 🙂
Oh fab!! Where in Turkey have you visited?
I want to go back to see Ephesus and Capadoccia.
